Have you seen someone in your neighborhood who looks like a vampire? Have you seen someone on the streets pretending to be a vampire? Or have you seen one of the delusional individuals who actually BELIEVES himself or herself to be a vampire? If so, you can help make Detroit a safer place for residents and visitors alike by simply picking up a phone and calling the toll-free hotline at 1-800-HELP-DET, or by clicking on the HELP Hotline phone or web app.
Vampires do exist, as small bats from South America. Outside of this context, rational people know and understand that vampires are fictional beings, fantasy creations which have little basis in reality. However, though vampires as portrayed in movies and literature are fantasy creatures, the damage done to unsuspecting lives by supporting this fantasy is quite real: every year, countless unsuspecting people are injured, sometimes fatally, because of this dangerous pretense.
Harmless fun? Consider the sad fate of Cynthia Middlesworth, an honor student and member of the Kappa Kappa Pi sorority, who decided to dress the part for a vampire-themed party hosted by the sorority. Though the evening started innocently enough, things took a tragic turn when she left the party in costume for a trip to the store. She was spotted by a member of a street gang known for brutally murdering so-called vampires by decapitation or impaling their victims with stakes. Identified and targeted by the gang, Cynthia was followed back to her ‘lair’ and slain with her sorority sisters and guests; the gang is known to have killed ten people and crippled two others that night in their violent campaign to cleanse Detroit of all suspected vampires.
Then there’s regrettable incident that claimed the life of Raymond Green. A former driver for Lyft and Uber, Mr. Green responded to a ride request, just as he had responded to hundreds of others. According to footage transmitted by a dash-cam in the car, everything went as expected until his fare bit him, then announced “I am a vampire. And now that I’ve bit you, you’re a vampire, too!” Mr. Green responded by accelerating to over a hundred miles an hour before hitting a fuel tanker broadside, killing himself and the passenger in the resulting conflagration.
Nobody is safe or off limits. Eight year old Bobby Jones wanted to go trick-or-treating, dressed up in a vampire costume. His parents indulged him in this unfortunate choice of apparel and allowed him to go out. Bobby never returned to his home, and no trace of him was ever found. Since he vanished, five years ago, seven other similarly costumed children have been reported missing; the one thing that all the missing children have had in common was that they were last seen costumed as vampires.
Help stop the senseless violence and make Detroit safe again. Do you want to make a difference? Have you seen something suspicious? Keeping your children, family, friends, your neighborhood in Detroit safe is as simple as picking up a phone and placing a call to 1-800-HELP-DET or clicking a web app.
